Hello Eric, I just read “The Truth About Leg Extensions.” Because of my standing work , I can`t do any leg exercises that press under my feet (deadlift, squat, and leg press), more that once a week, without getting trouble with my knees. They get full of water and hurt. When training full-body, [...]

While Red Sox and Yankees fans were clearly at odds during this past weekend’s series, as usual, there was one thing on which they could agree: Tim McCarver is still the worst sports commentator in television history.

For those who don’t know, IKEA is a company of Swedish origin that [...]
